My debut

Wow, my inaugural post in my brand new, all important blog! It seems that I should be saying something of substance, something that will be of importance for years to come, but I admit that I am no philosopher. Some days I feel like being a SAHM has robbed me of all of my intelligence and ability to speak in complete sentences. Nowadays my topics of choice are usually breastfeeding, diapers, and what I'm going to make for dinner. But as boring as that may sound, I could not, would not, go back to the ways things were B.T. (before Tristan). There is nothing that makes you more socially and environmentally conscious than having a child. Suddenly you have a future, a legacy. It's no longer all about you, it's about this tiny little person that you have created, and all you can think about is nurturing him and creating the type of environment that fosters his health, growth, and development. I think that's why my outlook has changed so much since I became pregnant and had Tristan. B.T. I was admittedly quite shallow, caught up on making more money, having nicer clothes, being able to afford the Benz. Now all of my energy is pooled into Tristan, poor kid, let's hope I don't screw this up too badly.
